Two companies are withdrawing food items from the market following concerns the products could contain pathogens that pose health risks to pets and human beings.
North Carolina-based Blue Ridge Beef is recalling 1,350 pounds of “Kitten Mix” pet food, citing contamination by salmonella bacteria, according to a Jan. 3 statement published by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The same day, New Jersey-based Abbey Specialty Foods announced a recall of two cheddar products, saying the items were potentially contaminated with listeria monocytogenes bacteria.
